a Woman from Austria.

MARIA G1aaS; an intelligent ana
industrious woman, whose story
of physical suffering and final
relief, as related by herself, is
of interest to English women.
81 was employed" she says,
Gin the work of q large farm
house. Overwork brought on
sick headache, followed by a
deathly fainting and sickness
of the stomach, until / was
unable to retain either food or
drink. 1 was compelled to
take to my bed for several
weeks. Getting little better
from rest and quiet, I sought
to do some work, but was soon
taken with a pain in my side,
which in a little while seemed
to spread over my whole body,
and throbbed in my every limb
This was followed by a cough
and shortness of breath, until
finally / could not sew, and 1
took to my bed for the second,
and, as / thought, for the last
time. My friends told me that
my time had nearly come, and
that / could not live longer
than when the trees put on
their green once more. Then I
happened to get one of the Sci
gel pamphlets. / read it, and
my dear mother bought me a
bottle of SE1GEL's SYRUP,
shaker Extract of Roots)
which I took exactly according
to directions, and 1 had not
taken the whole of it before l
felt a change for the better My
last illness began June Sd,
1882, and continued to August
9th, when I began to take the
Syrup. Very soon I could do q
little light work. The cough
left me, and I was no more
troubled in breathing. Now I
am perfectly cured; and oh,
how happy l am! 1 cannot
express gratitude enough for
SEIGEL's SYRUP shaker Elk
tract of Roots). Now I must
tell you that the doctors in our
district distributed handbills
cautioning the people against
the medicine, telling them it
would do no good, and many
were thereby influenced to de-
stroy the Seigel pamphlets; but
now, whenever one is to be
found, it is kept like a relic.
The few preserved are bor-
rowed to read, and I have lent
mine for six miles around our
district. People have come
eighteen miles to get me to buy
the medicine for them, know
ing that it cured me, and TO be
sure to get the right kind. 1
know a woman who was look
ing like death, and who told
them there WAS no help for her,
that she had consulted several
doctors, but none could help
her. | told her Of Seigel's
Syrup, and wrote the name
down for her that she might
make no m;-tcke. She took
my advice and the Syrup, and
now she is in perfect heath,
and the p"op,,e around us are
amazed. T.. medicine : has
made such progress in our
neighborhood that people say
they don't want the doctor any
more, but they take the Syrup.
Sufferers from govt who were
confined to their beds and could
hardly move a finger have been
cured byit. There is a gi1l in
our district who caught a cold
by going through some water,
and was in bed five years with
costiveness and rheumaticpains,
and had to have an attendant
to watch by her. = There was
not a doctor in the surrounding
district to whom her mother
had not applied to relieve her
child, but every one crossed
themselves and said they could not
help her. Whenever the little bell
rang, which is rung in our place
when anybody is dead, we thought
surely it was for her; but SeigeIs
Syrup and Pills Shaker Extract of
Roots) saved her life, and now she
is as healthy as anybody, goes to
church, and can work even in the
fields. Everybody was astonished
when they saw her out, knowing
how many years she had been in
bed. To-day she adds her graft
tude to mine for Gods mercies and
Seigel's Syrup MARIA Haas.
Shaker Medicines are now being
sold in all parts of the world and
are working wonders, as shown in
the above case. A. J. WHITE,
